"An Afternoon at the Exposition" wins 1st Place in Historical Short Story Contest at Writing.com

Welcome to Montgomery Sword Author's blog!
On Dec. 10, I was awarded a History Merit Badge with my first-place win in a Historical Short Story Challenge held over the weekend at the Writing.com Angel Army, of which I am a proud member.
My story is "An Afternoon at the Exposition," set in the Columbian World Exposition in Chicago in 1893, the Chicago World's Fair which honoured the sisters from Louisville who penned the tune and lyrics that were soon adapted as "Happy Birthday to you."
The song was written by the two, principal and teacher, as "Good Morning to You," for the classes to sing.
